Preparing for an Interview

The following important points are to be taken care of while attending an interview

1)Preparation and self assessment:-You should always be confident about your ability and skill and should prepare well for the interview.Remember “if you fail to prepare then prepare to fail”.You should think of each minute you spend in preparing as potential investment in your bright career.You should not blame for lack of time for preparing or circumstamces .Sir George Bernad shah said
People are always blaming circumstances for what they are. I don’t believe in circumstances. The people who get ahead in this world are people who get up and look for the circumstances they want; and if they can’t find them, make them.
2)Know well about the Company:-You should have thorough knowledge about the company as it will definitely be asked.You should know about the C.E.O,Managers the companys branches etc.You can get this knowledge from the internet either from company's official website or from any other sources.Also try to understand about companies turnover and if possible the history also.
3)What should I wear:-As this is strictly a formal meeting so dress should also be formal,we should approach this seriously because we need to create an impression on the interviewer and it also earns points.Some of the things girls should avoid are excessive jewellery,strong perfume,short skirts and for boys tattoos on display,dark coloured shirts and pants(light shirt and dark pant is good),t shirts,sandals or open toed shoes etc.these all create a negative impression on the interviewer that he/she is not caring for the job.
4)What should I take:-you should take the resume

also take the cerificates or easy to read documentsof
any achievements or any extracurricular activities that you have mentioned in the resume because interviewer might ask for it.
